# Configure a minimal configuration for the exporter
~$ cat <<EOF > values.yml
config:
gitlab:
url: https://gitlab.example.com
# You can also configure the token using --gitlab-token
# or the $GCPE_GITLAB_TOKEN environment variable
However when you do this in the chart, via terraform, you get the following error:

}
The charts secret.yaml should be updated so that .Values.config.gitlab.token is not a required value if GCPE_GITLAB_TOKEN has been set as an environment variable via values.envVariables.
The exporter allows you to set the gitlab token via an environmental variable. However the helm chart does not.
